Italian Stars Dominate European Hill Climb Road Race Championship

Italian Stars Dominate European Hill Climb Road Race Championship

Yes hill climbs in essence aren’t pure road races, but they are similar in terms of layout when in comparison to various roads circuits worldwide.

The five round European Hill Climb series which features events in Italy (Poggio/Spoleto), Austria (Landshaag), Switzerland (Chatel-St-Denis) and France (Petit Abergement), provides quite possibly at present the nearest you will get to a pure road race meeting in these four nations.

All events are held on public roads, as riders pit themselves against the clock to set the best times possible on the courses which each in their own way provide subtle different challenges.

The 2017 series was dominated by Italian stars such as impressive Manx GP newcomer Francesco Curinga who captured the Supersport crown, whilst Italy’s fastest Mountain Course exponent Stefano Bonetti powered to Superbike championship success.

Remaining class title winners where fellow countryman Guido Testoni (250 GP) and Andrea Majola (Supermoto Open).
